Summary

The tape has been prepared by a reaction between sigma-phase niobium2(aluminium, germanium) and niobium powders. Fabrication of the tape using a niobium sheath was quite successful. The superconducting properties and structure of the newly prepared niobium3(aluminium, germanium) tape were studied. Finer sigma-phase and niobium starting powders yield a pronounced improvement in critical-current density at magnetic fields from 10 to 23 T. The addition of magnesium-oxide powder is effective for enhancing critical-current density and reducing the peak effect.
